Finally, last night, after two months, I managed to drop my motor back into the teg, and with absolutely no help I might add because my friends are too fvcking lazy to help me. Or maybe they don't give a rats ass, I don't know:fawk: Anyways, getting the tranny to hook up to the block was the biggest pain in the ass, since I had to lower the motor, direct it, and lift the tranny to meet the block all at the same time, somehow I managed after smashing my fingers between the two several times Only a few things left to do, 1) wait for upper radiator hose mount/housing, whatever you call it, to arrive at Acura (back order) since mine disappeared while the motor was at the machine shop. 2) Install axles, 3) do the timing, and 4) find out where one of my vtec wires connects on my ecu since it got ripped out when some fvcker jacked my V-AFC and other things two weeks ago. No battery, no alarm=no prob for gay ass thieves. Car was sitting right where it is in the pic, the one night I leave it out of the garage, ****ty.

One question though for anyone who has rebuilt their motor; Is it absolutely necessary to re-torque the head bolts after breaking it in? I really don't want to have to take the cams out again.

My B18C, and missing upper radiator...thing, back in the 93 Teg.


New mods while motor was out:
ITR cams
ITR pistons w/ .25mm overbore
Crower titanium valve springs/retainers
3-angle valve job
balanced and polished crank

 

looks good. :thumbup: and putting the motor back in by yourself :bigok:

 

oh, and it looks like you're missing the water outlet housing. thats what its called.

 

Thank you, it has been a pain in the ass trying to describe it over and over when calling around looking for that part.

 

it pays to work at an auto parts store
